AI Development Research with Real Data

47 tracked experiments. 15 research papers. Every piece shows what was built, how long it took, what it cost, and what actually worked.

Experiments

Try it yourself

Interactive demonstrations you can run. Build something, see the results, learn by doing. Each experiment tracks time, cost, and outcomes.

Papers

Read the analysis

Research papers with methodology, data, and conclusions. Each paper documents what we tested, what we found, and what it means.

Read Papers

Both paths connect. Experiments test what papers theorize. Papers explain what experiments reveal.
